There’s Nothing Like Tennis!

At Yellow Ball Tennis Camps, our goal is to create the most memorable week possible so that campers keep coming back for more! We’ve been producing successful tennis camps in Ohio since 2000 at other campuses. This year we’re delighted to present our first camp at Baldwin-Wallace College.

We welcome children of ages 8-18 at our week long tennis camps, and we offer both half-day and full-day programs. Our campers range from the complete novice to nationally ranked players. Since every player who attends Yellow Ball Tennis Camps is different, our program adjusts to fit the whole range of skill sets. To help us anticipate everyone’s unique needs, they’re requested to submit a Player Profile prior to the camp session. This allows us to customize our program to complement the experience level and individual goals of each player.

Novice tennis players will learn all the basic fundamentals of the sport. By the end of the week, each child leaves Yellow Ball Tennis Camp knowing how to play a match and keep score. It’s particularly astonishing to see the improvement in a beginner after a week of tennis camp!

For more advanced players, we invite parents to put us in contact with the child’s primary Tennis Professional. Our objective is to collaborate with this coach to achieve maximum results. This also allows us to reinforce the same instruction the player is experiencing at home. Even tournament players come away from Yellow Ball Tennis Camps seeing significant improvements that bring them closer to their best game.

Yellow Ball Tennis Camps takes a unique approach to introducing and promoting competition for campers of every skill level: our “2on2” Challenge. This is a daily event that’s a fun way for campers to improve singles and doubles match play, and also promotes the benefits of teamwork. For more information on this program, visit the “2on2” Challenge page.
